We’re wishing you a Happy New Year and are thrilled to commence Can Too training sessions in 2021.

To ensure the safety of our Can Too community and to comply with the current restrictions the following updates to our training sessions have been implemented. 

Face masks

While wearing a face mask is not a requirement for group training, we request that all Can Too participants wear a face mask during the pre-session briefing, if the session is indoors.

To confirm this applies to the briefings that take place at the beginning of training sessions where the Team Captain, Mentor, Coach or relevant person provides a briefing to the training group, in an indoor setting. This is an update to Can Too’s health and safety policy, which is a higher regulation that the NSW government enforces. 

Under the public health order, a "fitted face covering" means a mask or other covering that

• fits securely around the face, and
• is designed or made to be worn over the nose and mouth to provide the wearer with protection against infection.

Change to training at Mona Vale Beach

Due to current restrictions at the time of writing, that apply to the northern area of the Northern Beaches, training at Mona Vale Beach this weekend will not go ahead. 

Instead of cancelling the training session, there is an alternate training option at the Terrey Hills Swim School, at: 31 Myoora Road Terrey Hills, NSW 2084.
